Hello Jim, I am afraid I am guilty of sending direct to the sender, and have just done so to Martin just letting him know that there is someone else on this great list, however I will try to reply to all in future, just so long as what I say is not boring to others????. Kind regards Pat Starling. Near. Reading, Berkshire. UK. Researching.

Hi, Pat, Of course, some of what you say will be boring. We all think we know it all except for the question we ask. Seriously, even if you answered the same question last week, there may be another new member of the list who is waiting for that information. To read someone else's explanation often makes me think about a topic and come to understand it better. That is certainly the case when I am almost sure I am right and have to check my statements before I post them. Putting in often means getting a lot out as well. Do reply to the list. If people find me boring, there is always the delete key!! Jim Lancaster (Bury, LAN, ENG)

Hello Everyone, Yes Martin we are here. My roots are in Kirkham name KIRBY/KIRKBY and Preston name ECCLES and the dates are early 1800s. If you have an ETHERINGTON,IRELAND or DICKINSON also early 1800s let me know.
